While she deserved her fate, the law

occasionally he might have been saved such

THE DEMOCRATS BLAME ONLY
THEMSELVES.
The Parkersburg Journal, in an edlto-
rial reproduced in another column, says
"Mr. CAMDEN's friends have no cause
therefore to chide or fret because political
opponents did not rush to MI. CAMDEN's
aid.
We beg leave to say to our esteemed
contemporary that the Democrats are not
fretting on this account. 1t was a ques-
ton entirely within the Democratic party,
and they blame only men in their own
ranks for n failure to elect. 1t was not
expected that aid to any appreciable ex-
tent would he received from the Repub-
licanS.
Four-fhlhs of the Republican members
of the Legislature have political asplra-
tious and place the success OF their party
above the good of the State. They felt
that Mr.. CAMDEN was the strongest nan
before the people as candidate for Senate
and was able To do them the most harm IN
the next campaign. They saw that if an
election were not made that the Democrat
ic party would be left divided and disor-
gnnized and weakened for political success.
While there were some Republicans
who looking above mere partisan
politics, desired to vote for
| MIR. CAMDEN because they thought him
more suited than any other Democrat to
represent the State aud support principles
that will develop our resources, the great
majority did not rise To this, and succeed,
ell in whipping every Republican, will
but one exception, into line. We do not
chide them for this. They acted just Is
we expected them to.
Rut we do blame the eleven anti-caucuS
Democrats. And the Democracy OF the
State will blame them.
